LeapFrogLetter Band Phonics Jam Toy

My daughter is autistic and has Down syndrome. She loved it and mimics some sounds/ awesome help with speech therapy

My 8 month old has been having a very good time with it for 2 weeks now. The quality of letter pronunciations is pretty good (name of letter and how it sounds), but it also has some musical instrument buttons too that can play one at a time or layered together. Almost like a techno DJ synthesizer! On top of that, there are 5 different modes all the buttons can be in, as controlled by a slider bar. It would be better if you could layer multiple letters at the same time in jukebox mode (you can layer any of the instruments, and one letter at a time, but why not just make it a maximum number of overall buttons that could simultaneously be 'voiced', since there are 6 instruments and up to one more letter... I would like to be able to use say 1 instrument and 2 letters simultaneously).Update: After 2.5 months of owning this, it is experiencing issues with the buttons/slider-switch or circuitry inside. The device resets in a second or two after pressing any buttons, except for the instrument buttons in jukebox mode.Update #2: Actually the toy didn't die! The batteries just needed replaced, it's totally fine now :)

My son loves this more than I thought he would. It’s our car toy and he is obsessed. Very pleased! Durable, educational, a little loud but great toy!

I like that it will say the letter and the sound in addition to just having the ability to say the letter itself. My kids loved the way the letters can be said in a “musical” voice and it’s held up well and still works after two years and two toddlers.

It's very cute but if anyone in your family has perfect pitch dont get it! The toy "sings" the letter names on a specific pitch, and the A through G pitches do NOT correspond to the actual pitch of the music note. I know this sounds like a nitpick but if you or your kid has perfect pitch this will drive you crazy. And if you are teaching your kid music and hope they will develop perfect pitch, this will definitely work against that.But it is a great toy for learning alphabet and phonics.

Perfect gift

I bought this toy for my two-year-old son who is really into the alphabet and alphabet sounds right now.We picked it up from the post office on the way to the hardware store. This toy allowed us to get our shopping done without having to deal with a screaming toddler that doesn't like to go shopping. For that alone it is worth it.There are 2 volume settings on this toy. Maybe it was just quiet in the store that day, but I felt like the lower of the two volumes was still pretty loud.My son really liles the "V" key. He tends to push that one button repeatedly for what seems like hours on end. I will probably be dreaming about the letter V tonight.I can't really comment on the durability because I haven't had it for very long. It seems pretty well made though.All in all it's a great toy and very educational. I love it and would highly recommend it.

It’s very beautiful
